Friday, Aug 1, 2008 • TGIF @ BROOKHAVEN - American Bolero •
BNL

If you don’t feel like dancing after the picture taking, you can always go to a rock concert at the South Room: “Argent Fantasy”, a Long Island-based rock band, will perform in concert on Friday, August 1, at 7 p.m. in the Brookhaven Center; the event is sponsored by the BNL Music Club; Tickets are $10 at the BERA Store or at the door.

ABOUT OUR TGIF:

This Friday, Aug 1st, I will be teaching American Bolero. As usual, we will start from the beginners level and then gradually progress towards int/adv figures.

Our workshops at Brookhaven Lab are generally designed for “social dancing”. We usually start with a review of the basic moves, then progress towards more advanced patterns that might be useful in any dance social.

There is no fixed partnering as we rotate partners - not only to provide an opportunity for everyone to meet and become social friends, but also to give each and everyone a chance to learn how to apply the basic techniques of “lead and follow”. We don’t offer any individual private instruction. All of our instructors, however, conduct their own private, or group instructions elsewhere outside the Lab. Please feel free to make an arrangement with any of them if you want to get more specialized dance instructions outside Brookhaven Lab.
